Cyclone blower - my white whale

[Regina S.]

The cost of a Cyclone blower has kept me from buying one, but I saw one on Facebook marketplace for $115 and had to have it. There were some hoops: I was forced to join Facebook, which I had steadfastly refused do for all these years. Then, the buyer was a few states away and wouldn’t ship. But I knew it was meant to be when I found out they lived 15 minutes away from my brother. He bought it for me and shipped it for $20. After a trip to Lowe’s for an $8 connection piece, the satisfaction of creating a geyser in the main drain made it all worth it.

It can be adapted to do your sprinklers too if you have them. For one or two uses a season, it'll literally last forever and is money well spent when divided over a generation or two.

The company by me wanted $700somwthing to close for me when they were installing the cover, which is the only reason I considered using them. I spit out my drink at the 'seven hun' part and didn't hear if it was $740 or $790. The cyclone would have been free, halfway through the job had I needed one.
